@Lazarou @alineblankertz Yep. Compared to them, the Völkischer Beobachter was a mere novice. Wapo and the NYT will never manage the casual indifference to evil that's been the Economist's specialty since 1843.

@Lazarou @alineblankertz The Economist: the time-sanctified herald of the smug bourgeoisie. At least it has smarter editors—by far—than the Wall Street Journal. ("Here, hoi polloi, is what you should really be thinking about everything. Trust us. We've been around since before Marx met Engels, and we know stuff.")

@krystyna @JohnSullivan I'm reminded of the Game of Thrones. Does anyone else remember what happened to Viserys Targaryen? From a Web site synopsis: "Drogo grabs the pot and addresses Viserys in the common tongue, 'A crown for a king,' and pours the molten gold onto his head, the promised 'terrible golden crown,' killing him for his impudence." In a just world, it seems to me, this would be the perfect fate for Donald Trump.

@universalhub @nek When we finally begin our post-Trump Nürnberg trials, let's make sure we get all the little fish too. That way we won't have to track them down in Argentina 15 years later. Nobody who collaborates with today's monstrous Republican governments should be allowed to escape justice for their depraved indifference to the lives of others.

@ablueview @willie1foot I know the fascist billionaires love him enough to make sure he never wants for anything illicit that his heart desires, but does Justice Thomas really believe the crackers think he's white?

@keithboykin And how fares our po-faced Speaker, the Pat Boone of racist Republican sanctimony? Honestly, who gives a fuck?

@alberta.tech @Lazarou Dumbfuckery has consequences, especially the FOMOfascist kind of dumbfuckery.
